Chapter 1489: Chapter 1479: Explanation

If it wasn’t for Mom’s appearance changing, Mu Yan would have recognized her early on.

But what exactly happened to her?

Her gaze fell on the burn mark on her neck, was it because of that fire accident?

Kong Lizhen noticed her gaze, touched her neck, and said: "This is a long story, you should rest first, tomorrow Mom will tell you everything."

"No, I can’t sleep, I want to hear it now." Mu Yan grabbed her hand, her eyes sparkling.

Kong Lizhen smiled at her, "Alright, I’ll tell you."

She turned her head to look at the ceiling, lost in remembrance.

"That night I was led into the wine cellar, and after I took something I was planning to leave, who would’ve thought that the door was locked from the outside, I couldn’t get out. I shouted at the door for a long time but no one helped me open it. Soon, I began to feel dizzy and then fell unconscious, when I woke up again, I was surrounded by fire. At that time, I inhaled a lot of smoke, my consciousness gradually faded away, suddenly the door opened, and several people rushed in, carrying me away."

Mu Yan furrowed her brows, although Kong Lizhen’s tone was relaxed, the ordeal at that time was imaginable.

She asked, "Was it the Kong Family who saved you?"

"Yes." Kong Lizhen nodded.

"So are you really a descendent of the Kong Family?" Mu Yan asked.

"Yes." Kong Lizhen let out a light sigh, "It was only after I was saved by them that I learned I was a descendent of the Kong Family, and also discovered my own identity."

Mu Yan wanted to say it was a blessing in disguise, but the misfortune was too great, she almost lost her mom.

"But since you were saved, why did I find your body inside, along with some of your personal belongings? If it wasn’t you, who was it?"

Speaking of this, Kong Lizhen’s face suddenly changed, she sneered and said: "Of course it was the culprit."

"Hmm?" Mu Yan looked at her in surprise, "What happened?"

"I went to the wine cellar to get wine because I was forced by someone, that person is my mortal enemy, to be precise she has always disliked me, because usually I sell wine better than her, and the tips from customers are more than hers, she has held a grudge for a long time, often targeting me, just at the same time another mortal enemy of mine found her, and she readily agreed. Since she wanted to burn me to death, then I naturally return the favor, this is your uncle’s decision, and I agree with him."

Afraid her daughter couldn’t accept her way of doing things, Kong Lizhen explained: "Yanyan, it’s not that mom is ruthless, but in this world you can’t rely solely on benevolence and morality, if that person had succeeded, I’d never see you again."

"Mom, I understand, you don’t need to explain, good people get bullied, I’ve felt that deeply these past years too." Mu Yan smiled, "I’m so happy Mom is safe and sound, I’m no longer a child without a mom."

Looking at her daughter’s lovely face, Kong Lizhen’s eyes were full of emotion, her heart overflowing with motherly love, she hugged her directly, "Yanyan dear, mom will never leave you again."

"Then you must keep your word!" Mu Yan said softly.

"Of course I will, otherwise let Yanyan hate Mom."

"I will never hate Mom." Mu Yan said unhappily, she remembered another thing, and asked unhappily: "Mom, since you’re alive, why didn’t you come to see me?"
